National Desexing Month - call to prevent unwanted litters

15th Jul 2025

Australia’s animal shelters continue to face overwhelming pressure from unplanned litters, surrendered and abandoned pets — but one simple act can make all the difference. This July, the National Desexing Network (NDN) invites veterinary clinics and local communities to join National Desexing Month (NDM) 2025 and help turn the tide on pet overpopulation.
NDM is an initiative of Animal Welfare League Queensland (AWLQ), and this nationwide program is now in its 21st year. It calls on veterinary clinics nationally to offer discounted desexing services throughout July, and on pet owners to act responsibly by ensuring their pets are desexed.
In support of this initiative, for the month of July, Guyra Veterinary Clinic are having 20% off routine desexing.
“Every year, more pet owners are stepping up to desex their pets and break the cycle of unwanted litters — and that’s real progress,” said Jemal Mako, NDN spokesperson.
“But we still see too many animals coming into shelters because this vital step wasn’t taken. We need the whole community to keep pushing forward.”
“Desexing is a simple act with a huge impact,” Ms Mako, continued. “By taking part in National Desexing Month, veterinary clinics, councils, animal organisations and pet owners all become part of a solution that reduces the number of animals surrendered — and those that tragically never leave the shelter system.”
